Eggman laughs loudly as his Eggpawns fill the streets of he city bellow, he laughs so hard that his laughter turns into a coughing fit within a few seconds.
Next to him, a white-haired, rather tall human male rolls his eyes "Jeez...it wouldn't surprise me if you suddenly dropped down dead with how you sound..."
"Oh be quiet," Eggman grumps while crossing his arms in a huff.
"Why don't you MAKE me, fool! You don't tell me what to do..."
"No but if it wasn't for me you wouldn't even be here," Eggman shoots back. "That makes you my underling!"
"I answer to no-one..." The other male glares angrily "And you KNOW I don't."
"Grr..." Eggman growls. "...Fine, but you had best so your part or you'll regret it!"
"Will I?" He replies, rolling his eyes "Whatever..."
The fat human's moustache twitches, "… Oh… He's coming, I can feel it…"
"Who's "he" and why should I care?"
"It's that blasted hedgehog again…"
"Aaaaand I don't care, old man. I have better things to do around here..."
"Hey, it's the only reason I agreed to even bring you to this world! It's time for you to pull your own weight Nathan!"
Nathan smirks "Pull my own weight? You're one to talk...you're the one that needs to be LIFTING weights, you oversized egg-shaped FOOL."
"JUST SHUT UP AND GET READY FOR A FIGHT!"
The moments these words are out of his mouth, a car flies through the air at them.
Eyes wide, Nathan rolls out of the way, not really caring about his "partner". "What the hell..."
Knuckles turns to sonic, "what you think, a split? You think I got a chance to make a spare?"
Sonic chuckles "Maybe...let's just get out there and start fighting already!"
Knuckles shrugs, and starts running for the Legion of Eggpawns.
Sonic copies him, only, using his speed, he is able to reach the Eggpawns and take some of them out before Knuckles even gets close to them. "Too slow, Knuckles!" He grins.
"Show off," knuckles rolls his eyes as he rips a robot in half with his hands.
"You're just jealous!" Sonic laughs, as he uses his speed to knock over one robot, which in turn knocks over another...and another...almost like a domino effect. "These things are so DUMB. Just like they're creator!"
"I know, this isn't even fair," Knuckles shakes his head sadly as he punches one robot, and it breaks through a triangle of them like bowling, or billiards.
"What isn't?" Sonic dodges a strike, weaving through a group of robots surrounding him.
"Come on sonic, you got admit this is like picking on kindergartners."
Sonic pauses and grins at Knuckles "Well...I see you're point. They certainly FIGHT like children that's for sure!" With a laugh, he destroys the rest of the eggpawns surrounding him. By the end, he's not even out of breath.
Knuckles finishes his bunch by lazily smashing two of them together by the heads. "Alright, where is the Eggman? I could go for seconds about now…"
Nathan clears his throat from behind them "Who the hell are you wannabe's?"
Knuckles glares at him, "what did you say you punk? You got a death wish?"
"No..Im not afraid of you, idiot. Who are you anyway? Are you lost?"
"I'm Knuckles the echidna, guardian of the Master Emerald," Knuckles says while cracking his fists.
"I'm Sonic, fastest thing alive!" He smirks.
Nathan tilts his head to the side, and pulls out what looks like a gun. Quicker than anyone can even register, he aims at Sonic's neck and fires, then does the same with Knuckles. However, there is no wound...no physical proof of anything coming into contact with them, but why do their necks hurt so much?
Knuckles grips his neck with a groan, and takes two steps towards Nathan, his fist raised.
Nathan laughs, and with a simple thought, he manages to make Knuckles tap his head "Don't even think about it..." Nathan says to him "There's something in that stupid brain of yours now, you're completely at my disposal...at least, your movements are."
Sonic, rubs at his neck and is suddenly frozen still. He tries to open his mouth to speak, but he...can't.
Next thing he knows, he cracks Knuckles across the face. What the...
The blow doesn't do too much since Knuckles is built like a rock, but it still surprises Knuckles enough to make him fall over.
Nathan laughs harder "See? You can't even SPEAK unless I tell you to. And the best part is...no-one will suspect a thing unless they probe hard enough in your brain."
Knuckles glares at him, and growls low in his throat... Or he would have if he could.
Nathan's laughter dies down "This is much more amusing than I thought it would be."
Sonic glares at him. He'd so smack that stupid grin of his face...if he could.
"Now, let's see. I'm looking for someone...perhaps you could help me." Nathan gives Sonic and Knuckles free reign to speak.
"Maybe a couple buddies of mine," Knuckles guesses. "By the names of 'Fuck,' and 'You?'"
Nathan laughs "No actually,"
"Why the hell should we help YOU?" Sonic scoffs, frustrated with having to be stuck in the same spot. He's never THIS still unless he's sleeping..
"Because you have no other choice..."
"Would you expect any less?"
"Well… Would you believe me if I say no?"
Nathan gives him a blank look before turning back to the Knuckles and Sonic "Any of you two seen a girl around here? About this tall, rather timid, pretty...what's the word...fragile?" He gives a toothy grin.
"No," knuckles deadpans, and gives him a flat stare.
Sonic frowns "...Why?"
"Oh...no reason...you don't need to look at me like THAT, you red-haired idiot!" Nathan raises his eyebrows at Knuckles
"Fuck your mother," knuckles bites back.
"Watch your mouth!" Nathan glares "Now come on, you're going to help me."
"Over my dead body you retard." Knuckles rolls his eyes.
"Oh no, you don't need to die." Nathan takes away their power of speech just as Sonic opens his mouth to rant about not being able to move. "Now...shall we take our leave?"
Eggman rubs his hands together, "Oh do let's…"
"Where to first then, egghead?"
"Well first we have to find out where these two came from, more than likely they'll lead us right back to their friends…"
Nathan nods, "Alright, idiots. Where abouts did you come from around here? Take us...now."
Knuckles climbs to his feet smoothly, but his mind is fighting furiously to stop it.
Sonic glares at Knuckles...it's all he CAN do...
"Faster, you idiot. We don't have all day!" Nathan chides, walking closer to them.
The blue-haired human suddenly starts walking in a direction...the direction of the academy...
...
Shadow is waiting for them at the school gates.
Sonic tries to signal to him with his eyes that something is wrong...but it's easier said than done.
"So...this is where you came from then, hm?" Nathan mumbles, looking up at the giant building.
Shadow eyes him mistrusting me, "so this is the one that came through the portal with the Doctor? And you brought him here?"
Nathan grins "They can't talk now, so it's useless asking questions. Now, who are you? Aside from a waste of space, of course."
Shadow raises an eyebrow, and glances at Knuckles, "... How exactly would you like your tombstone to read?"
Nathan shrugs "I don't care. That'll be far into the future. I'm looking for someone, if you tell me where she is, I'll apologise."
"And who am I talking to exactly?" Shadow crosses his arms.
"You're talking to a person, obviously." Nathan chuckles sarcastically "What are you, blind as well as dumb?"
Shadow bites back a growl, "I was asking for your name. I am Shadow the hedgehog, the ultimate life form."
"And I am Nathan. But that's none of your business of course. Now, are you going to help me or not, idiot?"
"Let me think…" Faster than the I can follow Shadow pulls a gun out of his buddy, and Points it at Nathan.
Nathan raises an eyebrow, and Knuckles and Sonic stand in front of him, almost as a shield "Why are you pointing that at me? I have no beef with you, moron!"
"A person can only stand being insulted so many times, Nathan," shadow growls. "And I don't particularly like these two, so hiding behind them isn't going to save any of your hides."
Sonic is desperate to say something, but Nathan only laughs "I don't care. Like I say, help me, and I'll apologise."
"Apologize in Hell." Shadow starts shooting at Nathan around his former comrades.
Nathan ducks and moves out of the way, grabbing Knuckles and placing him in front of his body "Shoot me, you shoot him. He's your friend, isn't he?"
Shadow shoots Knuckles through the arm, and the bullet rips into Nathan. Nathan grits his teeth at the pain "You'd shoot your own comrade just to get to me! You're pathetic, now tell me, where is she!"
"And you typically need a name before I know what I'm supposed be looking for." Shadow passes a bullet off the ground between their legs.
Nathan growls "Angel, goddamn it! Stop shooting at me before I hurt you! ...unless of course you provide me with information."
Shadow frowns, "What do you want with Angel?"
Nathan's eyes light up...but it's only noticeable to those who don't miss any details. "So you know her? And it's none of your business. We...know each other. Pretty close actually."
"Nathan... Now that you mention it that name rings a bell," Shadow narrows his eyes. "A Death bell to be exact."
"You've heard of me? So she's mentioned me to you?" He laughs "That girl...such an idiot."
"She didn't really have much a choice," Shadow says as he slides a fresh clip of bullets into his gun. "That wound you gave her was close to a gunshot wound that we had to patch up in her."
"Wound? Whatever are you talking about?"
"She's not quite as pathetic as you remember," Shadow replies. "This school behind me trains warriors, and guess what? She's the leader of her own team."
"She's WHAT!?" Nathan's smirk falls from his face "She shouldn't be. That team will perish within the week. It isn't safe for her to lead..nor is it safe for any of you to be LED by her."
"She doesn't lead me," Shadow replies. "She leads Smoke, and Cinder of Poisoned Rose along with one of the locals of this world."
Shadow wants to chuckle, he is enjoying getting a rise out of this buffoon.
"I see...then expect them to drop dead soon. She can't lead a parade, let alone a damn TEAM! Where is she!"
"In class," Shadow replies. "Probably swapping notes with her new Lover..."
Nathan blinks "...What...did you...just say?"
His blood runs cold.
"I said she found a lover."
"Who...the fuck is it?" He growls, teeth gritted. Oh, when he gets his hands on her...
His hands clench at the thought.
"None of your concern, not anymore. After all, a corpse can't have much of a love life…"
"And what do you mean by THAT?"
"That you have exactly 3 minutes left to live, Nathan.…"
"Oh no, this supposed LOVER of hers has three minutes left to live, and YOU can watch while I beat the shit out of her too!" Nathan snarls at him "Now get out of my way NOW!"
Suddenly, Knuckles and Sonic start advancing towards him.
Shadow glance between them, "Mind control right? Then all I have to do is kill you. Even if it puts them in a coma, they were pretty much brain-dead anyways."
"They can still hear you, y'know." Nathan smirks as they both pounce at the same time. He takes advantage of the distraction to race past, fuelled by pure anger.
Shadow deals with them quickly, but when he turns Nathan is gone. "… Dammit."
He races down the corridors, not even knowing where the hell he's supposed to be going. He concentrates hard for a moment, before turning on his heels and racing straight back the way he came from...
..and into the second class onto the right hand side.
There he sees what is undeniably Angel in a strange human/animal form as she faces off a large black wolf-creature. It swings for her legs with a snarl.
Panting a little, she jumps to avoid the swipe, preparing an attack of her own. However, a force suddenly knocks her roughly to the floor, making her cry out in surprise.
A white-haired Faunus stands between herself and the creature, making her frown "What are you doing...I can do this myself!"
Professor Port frowns, "Young man, you are interrupting her training session. We are practicing evasion tactics... Unless you would care to fill in for her this lesson?"
Smoke sits up quickly, "Uh-oh..."
"Fill in for her?" The new Faunus laughs "No, I'm here to teach her a lesson of my own, whoever you are. Besides, she can't defend herself against that thing!"
Angel growls, standing up and coming to stand in front of him "You don't even KNOW me, you IDIOT!"
Purely out of reflex, his hand comes up to smack her. Suddenly Smoke is next to them, and grabs his wrist. "Woah hombre, cut it out!"
The Beowulf jumps at them with a growl.
Nathan abruptly pushes him away as he dives out of the way of the creature, leaving Angel to take the blow as she is knocked to the floor by it as a result.
It opens it's jaw to bite her, but then a red sword thrusts from its jaws as Adam stabs it in the back of the head. He shoves it to the side as it starts turning into black smoke, and sheathes his sword. "Are you okay Angel?"
"Fine..." She pants shakily, overwhelmed by the sudden situation. Nathan's hand grabs her arm and pulls her to her feet.
"What the hell are you DOING here?!"
Angel tries to twist out of his grip "Get off, I don't KNOW you!"
Smoke tried to muscle between them so he can muscle them apart, "Yeah, and let's make sure it stays that way…"
Nathan pushes Smoke out of the way, glaring "Stay out of this."
He turns his glare to the girl in front of him...and his eyes...she suddenly recognises them.
"..Nathan?" Her own eyes widen in disbelief...and pure fear.
Adam blinks, "Nathan..."
The next moment Adam is between them, holding Nathan at bay with the bottom of his sword sheath.
"What the hell are YOU doing?" He glares at Adam "You have no business in this, go away."
"Take your own advice," Adam growls while using a thumb to draw his sword an inch, and using his free hand to hide Angel behind himself.
"Stop touching her, idiot!" He growls in reply, glare intensifying "Angel...come here...now."
She gulps, shaking a little. Her tiny hands grip the back of Adam's shirt. "Please just leave me alone..."
Professor Port crosses his arms, "Young man are you even a student here?"
"Nope!" Smoke points at Nathan, "No he's not, someone call the cops! Never thought I'd hear THAT come out of my mouth..."
"Anyone make a single damn move and I'll kill you all!" Nathan threatens, angry "I suggest, Angel, you get here NOW before I rip each one of these idiots to pieces, starting with the jackass who's apparently your LOVER."
Lover? She frowns. Is that really the word?
"You're welcome to try," Adam says in a low voice. "I've faced things you've never even dreamed of."
"Wait..." He blinks "It's...YOU?!" Nathan raises his fist to hit him, but Angel runs out from behind.
"Please don't, Nathan! You shouldn't even BE here!"
With a glare, he grabs her wrist so hard she has to grit her teeth to keep from making any noise "You don't tell me what to do...unless of course, you would LIKE me to break this?"
CRUNCH!
Adam's fist collides with Nathan's nose with satisfying sound effects as he wrenches Angel away from him.
Angel watches in horror as he stumbles back, holding his nose and glaring with such hatred that she actually shivers.
"Big mistake...I'm giving you but three seconds to release her and to come to me before I break your neck."
Angel looks up at Adam in fear "Please don't let him.."
Professor Port crosses his arms, "Adam, escort this man off campus please."
"With pleasure Professor," Adam says, and pushes Angel back into the grip of Smoke. Smoke sends Weiss a pleading look as he starts pulling Angel back to their seats.
Meanwhile Adam leaps forward, slamming both feet into Nathan. One lands on his chest, and the other in the face, sending him into the hallway. Nathan picks himself off the floor "What the hell are you PLAYING at!"
"I heard about you," Adam says as he swings his sword sheath, and knocks Nathan further away from the classroom. "And from what I've heard you've lost all your humanity. Killing you will be a mercy, like putting down a rabid dog."
Nathan laughs "You're welcome to try...but what about HER?" He raises an eyebrow as he stands. "You kill me...she'll most likely be too afraid to even look at you."
"She knows who I am, what I've done," Adam says as he grabs Nathan by the neck, and slams him sideways through a window so he's holding him up several stories from the ground through the shattered glass. "I may scare her, but in time she will forgive me."
"And how will you be so sure of that.."Nathan seethes, grabbing onto Adam's arm and glaring hard
Adam turns his sword upside down so the blade falls out, and he presses the sheath to Nathan's forehead. "...Faith."
BLAM!
"ADAM!" Angel's voice screams from behind as she watches the scene in horror.
Adam sighs as he drops the limp body of Nathan from the window, and turns to pick up his sword. "He wasn't the man you knew any more Angel. If his old self had seen who he would become he would have thanked me."
She backs away from him slowly, body heaving as she breathes heavily. "I...I...can't.." Angel sinks to her knees, hugging herself "I can't breathe...oh god..." She pants, eyes wide "Someone help me!"
Adam jerks his head towards her, "Angel?!"
Smoke runs over with Cinder, and picks her up. "Dude, she gets panic attacks!"
Angel starts to sob loudly, her frame jerking as she desperately tries to take in air "I...I need...I can't...please..."
Smoke shouts over his shoulder at the gathering class, "For the love of all that's wholesome, does anyone have a paper bag?!"
"Smoke...I need...air...please..." Angel clutches at him. Weiss steps forward, holding a brown bag
"Here..."
Cinder takes it, and covers the lower half of Angel's face with the open end of the bag. "What happened?"
Smoke eyes the broken window, and then looks at the blood dripping from Adam's hand.
Angel cries out and claws at Cinder hand, desperately trying to get her off. She lashes out blindly "Get off...please...help.."
"Just breathe Angel," Cinder says softly, projecting her aura in a calming pulse.
Angel pants, leaning into Cinder "He killed...he killed..."
Smoke blinks, and slowly lowers Angel to the ground. To Weiss he says, "I got some damage control to do." Then he leaps out the window after Nathan's body.
"Where's he going?" Weiss frowns.
Cinder looks up at her, "We can't let people believe one of our member just murdered in cold blood here in campus. Smoke is arranging a cover story."
Angel stares at Adam with conflicting feelings. She doesn't know what to do any more. "Why...why...WHY!"
"I wasn't going to wait for him to hurt you again," Adam says flatly.
"But you...you killed him..." She gets to her feet, walking over to him as she shakes violently. She gently takes his arms and looks at him with pleading eyes "Please tell me I just dreamt that...please Adam..."
Adam looks down at her, and makes no move to touch her, "No Angel... You're not dreaming." There's real sorrow in his eyes.
She cringes at his words and screams into his chest "No! You're lying...in a minute I'll wake up and Nathan wont even BE here! You wont have killed and everything will be just fine...just fine...yeah..."
He rubs a hand I the back of her head, "I'm sorry Angel, but he wasn't even a person anymore. Just a monster left as a by-product of cruelty."
"But why did YOU kill him!"
"No one else would have," Adam says. "They would have tried reasoning with him, and if you couldn't then no one could."
"But...he...maybe he was here to change! And now .."
"Please don't try to see him for what he's not," Adam says as he raises her face to look at him. "Please Angel, I only did it to protect you..."
"That's exactly what HE said! He only hit me to protect me because I wouldn't listen!" Tears start to leak from her eyes "What if YOU start hitting me next! You've already killed!"
Adam takes a step back in plain shock. "...You...really think...I..." He closes his eyes sadly, and starts to walk away.
Angel cries hard, and steps to the window. She leans over to look out, and she steps up onto the ledge. "Why..."
...
That night at the club the Black Fang is fully assembled. Smoke takes the floor first, "Personally I think Adam made the right call. Eggman is no threat, but Nathan is a notorious gang leader back in our world. A ruthless sociopath, and he could have seriously got in our way."
Pyrrha sighs, "But what of our "No Killing" rule?"
Adam doesn't look at the group, "If it's decided by the group then I would step down as a leader, even a member altogether."
Weiss sighs "But you have exceptional skill, Adam...we need you."
Blake nods, "Make that two votes for you to stay where you are, including me."
Nora too, agrees with Blake "Well I think you should stay! I mean, no-one can kick butt like YOU can!"
Pyrrha presses her lips together, "Just because we're leaders doesn't make us exempt from the rules. I vote No, on account there should be some form of penalty."
"What kind of penalty?" Weiss questions.
"I'm not sure," Pyrrha replies. "But we all agreed against taking a life so it cannot go unpunished for any of us."
"Wait..." Angel speaks quietly, clearing her throat. Her head is pounding with a migraine, and her eyes are slightly red, along with a pale blue bruise on the side of her face "Please don't."
Pyrrha sighs, "Adam knew that this was bound to happen before he pulled the trigger Angel. We need some kind of penalty for breaking our rule, how else can we expect the rest of us to uphold it?"
"It wasn't his fault. Pyrrha, please...I...it hurts knowing what he did but honestly, Nathan deserved it. He got what's been coming to him for a LONG time...Adam just did what I was too scared to do myself."
Smoke steps in, "And it's not like it compromises us right now. I slipped a fake White Fang dispatch into his pocket. Since he was Faunus they'll buy it, and the police will follow the information to a White Fang warehouse in Vale. No one will be complaining enough to question Adam for being a Hunter protecting the school."
Weiss sighs and gives Adam a stern look "NOW do you see why I say relationships are nothing but trouble?" She pokes a finger in his chest "If you and her hadn't have been dating, or...whatever the hell you are now, this wouldn't have happened!"
"No, I would have killed him anyways to put him out of his misery," Adam replies.
"Why risk losing your position in the group for a random nobody, Adam?" Weiss frowns "It's stupid. HER business is HER business."
"Like Smoke said, he would have compromised us eventually," Adam retorts. "I would have acted anyways."
Angel sighs "I'm sorry...I should have dealt with it myself..."
"What's done is done," Yang says with a shrug.
"Yeah, speaking of," Knuckles glares at Shadow. Cinder glares too, lightly rubbing Knuckles's arm hanging in a sling, and wrapped in bandage.
Weiss blinks, confused "What's the matter NOW?"
"He shot me!"
Weiss laughs "Well good...shame it didn't shut you up, idiot!"
Smoke snickers, and turns to Sonic, "If only she knew, eh Sonic? If your girlfriend DOES come through I doubt her brother would let her come alone..."
"What girlfriend, idiot!" Sonic glares at him "I don't HAVE one, I don't WANT one! Chilidogs are enough to keep me satisfied.."
"You like hotdogs over tacos?" Smoke takes a deliberate step away from Sonic, "Dude, never knew you swung that way..."
"CHILIDOGS, idiot!" Sonic frowns "Wait, WHAT? NO! You're a pervert, y'know that!"
"Oh stop it, flattery makes me blush," Smoke says with a chuckle.
Sonic glares at him "Oh please...I wasn't flattering you!"
Cinder smirks slightly, "He's right though, Amy's brother Spike is the purest idiot you will ever meet."
"Well we don't have TIME or ROOM for idiots!" Weiss snaps "We need to deal with this mess that ADAM created. Oh, and not forgetting Little Miss Useless over there who brought that jackass into here in the first place!"
She stalks over to her and jabs a finger into her chest "Next time, leave your problems in YOUR world. Don't bring them here. Now because of you, we might lose one of our most skilled members..I hope you're happy."
Angel blinks, and glances at Adam with tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry.." She mouths to him.
He touches his forehead to hers, and rubs her back.
"Adam...I don't think I deserve you..." She whispers and closes her eyes, content.
He sighs, and closes his head while shaking his head with a smile, "What am I going to do with you?"
Angel laughs "Whatever you'd LIKE to do with me...maybe makeout..." She jokes, slightly blushing.
Smoke gasps theatrically, "Goodness you two, there are children here!"
Angel bursts out laughing "Smoke...you're practically the most immature here."
"Only because Spike's not here," Smoke laughs.
"...You're both as immature as each other. I'm not sure who gets it from who..."
Smoke shrugs, "Cinder taught him to fight, I taught him everything else."
"And where did YOU get your immaturity from? I doubt Cinder..."
"Nah I came by it naturally," he admits.
"That I can believe." She smiles "Thank you, Smoke..."
"What for?"
"For looking after me...earlier...when..." She blushes out of embarrassment.
"Ah, no biggie little sis," he says with a wave of his hand.
"Seriously Smoke...I appreciate it."
"I said no prob, now go get a drink so you can get hot 'n heavy with your man."
Lucy blinks, "huh?
Angel blushes deeply "Smoke!" She hisses "Not in front of her!"
"Oh eat me," he retorts.
Weiss scoffs "Who knows where you've BEEN!"
"Doing your mom," Smoke says with a glint in his eyes.
Weiss glares at him "Don't be so disgusting! There's a child here..."
Lucy is not understanding a word Smoke is saying, "Why is your mommy gross big sis?" Smoke falls over, and almost dies laughing.
"Don't talk about my mother like that!" Weiss inadvertently snaps at her.
Lucy cringes, confused, "I sorry..."
"It's okay..." Weiss sighs "I'm sorry for snapping." she cuddles her close.
"So... She's not disgusting?"
"No, sweetie...she's far from it...Smoke was being an ass as usual"
"But you told him not to be gross, so I thought..."
Smoke busts up again, pounding floor with a fist, "Oh STOPITSTOPITSTOPIT! I CAN'T TALK!"
"SMOKE!" Weiss yells at him angrily "Get lost before I castrate you!"
"My club," he gasps, holding his gut.
"Your club?" She frowns.
Weiss huffs and glares darkly "You Faunus...I'm glad Lucy stays with ME now.."
Lucy purrs loudly, and kisses Weiss on he cheek before snuggling into her, "I love my big sis!"
Weiss cuddles her close "I love you too..." She whispers. Just saying those words...made her heart feel...weird..
Milsha knocks three times before opening the door. "Hey boss, we got a situation."
Smoke stands, and comes over, leaning in as she whispers in his ear. Smoke's swishing tails freezes, the fire fluffing out slightly in shock.
"What's wrong, Faunus?" Weiss raises an eyebrow.
Smoke nods, and Milsha leaves. When he faces the group he looks she'll-shocked, and stumbles into a chair. "Weiss... You may want to sit down..."
Weiss is immediately tense "Why! What's going on idiot!"
Weiss growls "JUST TELL ME, FAUNUS!"
Smoke takes a breath, "It's your dad... He's on his way here... Got on an airship to Vale yesterday."
Weiss gapes at him, her vision blurring. "Wh...what..."
Pyrrha quickly puts a chair behind her as Smoke continues, "One of my guys works in the Schnee company... He said that... He said your dad has a real interst in the Black Fang, and is coming here since all out work has been localized. Most likely he'll pay a visit here..."
Weiss stares at him with a glazed expression "What...dad...here...Faunus...me working with...Faunus..."
At the images running through her mind...she abruptly stumbles...and faints.
"Fucking called it," Smoke mutters.
